ARCHBISHOP WALSH'S VIEWS.

OF all the men now taking an inter
est in the settlement Of the Irish Gues-
tiora perhaps none are better qualified
to express an opinion on this subject
than Archbishop Walsh. He has always
identified himself with the Nationalist
party, and to him, in a great measure,
is due the wonderful success which has
attended Mr.. Palnell and his noble band
Of followers therefore his opinion
on anything affecting irish affairs
is entitled to more than ordinary
consideration, In regard to the Coer-
cion act His Grace says be does not re-
gard it as % political question, but as
one purely social and economic--one
that concerns the domestic welfare and
the happiness Of every household in the
land. 1t is quite certain that the lit
eral execution Of the act would break
up every root and branch Of the Ma
tional League ana absolutely stjfle seuy
open demonstration Of sympathy with
Home Rule. 1t is probably quite as
much on account Of the unusually
barsh features as for any other reason
that the Irish Nationalist look upon it
as measure that England would only
fully avail itself Of as an extreme re-
sort. The Archbishop. attaching only
secondary Importance to the act, and
looking on the amended land bill as re-
moving a large portion OF the injustice
OF which the farmers complain, should
inspire the Irish people with a great
deal of confidence for the future sue
cess Of the National movement in the
matter Of the evictions. which the Arch
bishop wished to be stopped, the fact
seems appalling, and will undoubtedly
surprise many, that for the three
months ending July 2, 9,l4O persons
have been evicted in Ireland.
On other points Archbishop Walsh
expresses his opinion very freely. For
instance, he thinks that in ayear ortwo
more an Irish Parliament will again sit
in College Green. His Grace said he
never went to Dublin Castle, which is
the abode Of the lord lieutenant OF Ire
land, except On public business, but ho
seemed to think it was probable, in
view Of the improved order Of things,
that he would in the future visit there

A WEAK. GOVERNMENT.

England has never had q weaker or
more puerile Government than the one
now engineered by Lord Salisbury. H.
ternally feeble and incapable, it has not
yet succeeded in carrying anything to a
successfu al issue. Since Lord Salisbury
hrst assumed the reins OF power he has
displayed incompetency in each, any
and every thing he turned his hand to-.
Particularly has this been the case in
regard to the Irish question. He knows
but l;ttle about the suffering and want
iii Ireland and cares less. He has made
40 effort to settle the difficulty either
one way or tho other, aud as natural
consequences he has not succeeded in
winning new friends or keeping these
he had When he started. At this mo-
ment, when the land question is the
pressing one Of the hour, he appears co
utterly ignore the fact that snch q thing
is agitating the minds Of the people OF
Great Britain. He entYusts everything
to others, who are equally as incon-
petent and Indifferent as their master
All the Tory Government desires is to
please the landed aristocracy of Great
Britain; improving the condition OF
She common people is 4 secondary con
sideyation. What does it matter to the
Tories whether Ireland is coEteuted OF
otherwise SO long as a privileged class
1,J - az fhn
people every1i ing they can earn. In
this country Iris1lmer, especially if they
settle in agricultural districts, are al
most certain to do we'll. When cut Of
their own country they are ready
enough to work. They are good agri-
culturists and are anxious to improve
THEFT condition. In Ireland it is much
different. No matter how much they
work aud slave themselves they are al
most certain to be i'll debt when the
crop is harvested. If their crops are
better than usual, the landlord will in
crease the rent; if not SO good, he must
have his rent, even it it takes the last
thing in the house to pay it. Bat what
do the Tories care about the poor peo-
pie? Is it not enough to look after the
interests OF the rapacious landlords
However, it is much better for the
cause of ireland that Salisbury does not
possess sufficient force of character to
conduct the affairs of the country. He
cannot continue long in his present
course.

civilization, and we fail to see why
Canada, after fifty years of Home Rule
should not fttingly celebrate the Jubilee
of her political independence. Itis this
appreciation of our system of respon-
sible government that makes us perhaps
more marked than we should otherwise
be in our desire to see others enjoy the
same privileges. Hence to some extent
our sympathy with our Irish fellow
subjects in their patriotic efforts to gain
the boon of Home Rule which has now
been ours for fifty years. Our pro-
posed jubilee cannot but call to
mind the fact that responsible
government was not granted to Can
ada without a struggle. In fact,
our forefathers suffered and some of
them bled to obtain the privileges which
we now enjoy. 1t is time that England
understood that what was gained by the
Canadians is claimed by Ireland to-day,
and that the same measure OF justice
cannot long be withheld, even though
the same measure which we in this
country employed may become again
necessary i'll the interests OF the dear
old land beyond the seas. However, we
hope for better things and more peace
full solution OF the difficulty, and are not
without some feeling Of confidence in
the ultimate success of the constitu-
tional and parliamentary agitation Of
Messrs. Gladstone and Parnell. The
jubilee of Canadian Home Rule is cal
culated to receive the courage and
stimulate the hopes and aspirations Of
all true friends of Ireland.' Without
desiring to meddle in things that may
not be our business, we would sug
gest that Mr.. Game attend this celebra-
ton, and he may get some information
on the evils arising from Canadian
Home Rule.

HOME RULE IN CANADA.

tits stated that Mr.. Caine, the Liberal
Unjonist nj. T.. for Barrow-in- Furness. is
about to start on trip around the
world, taking the Canadian Pacific
route to Asia. There is nothing ex-
traordinary in the statement that MI.
Caine, or any other Liberal Unionist
M. p. should start on a trip around the
world, but there are facts in connection
with the announcement that will cause
many, particularly Canadians to hold
their breath. It. transpires that this
inveterate enemy of Home Rule for Ire
land purposes, while in Canada, to in
quire into possible evils arising in
Canada. since the people of the Do
minion demanded and secured Home
Rule in 1887, and to use whatever infor-
nation he may thus obtain against the
Irish movement. We believe with the
Quebec Budget that SO far as Mr.. Gaines
mission to the Dominion is concerned,
he will go on wild goose chase. He may
search carefully and minutely for any
evils that may have arisen from Cana
dian Home Rule, and then his re-
searches Will be all in vain. Home Rule
has brought Canadians no evils at all.
What evils they have politically and
otherwise, arise from the fact that they
have not sufficient measure OF Home
Rule. So that it is not difficult to fore
see that the cause of Ireland has nothing
to fear from Mr. Gaines mission to the
Dominion. But 1t might not be amiss
to draw attention to the fact that there
is movement on foot in 'sloyal' To-
ronto to celebrate next September by q
monster meeting of Dominion Liberals
the fftieth anniversary of the granting
of responsible government to the Do
minion of Canada. On this point our
exchange referred to above has this to
say: "We hope the idea will be carried
into execution. and that not Liberals
only but all classes of our community
will join i'll celebrating this jubilee of
Canadian Home Rule. Freedom to all
and respect for the principles of self
government is a distinguishing and
gratifying characteristic of modern

COMMENTING on the proposal to re-
fer international disputes to the Pope
for arbitration. the New York Catholic
says; 1.-The safest and most disinter-
ested international arbitrator is the
Pope Our Holy Father, Leo Kill,
has been conspicuously successful as an
arbitrator, as were so many of the Sue
cessors Of Peter. Rome-the Rome Of
the Pontiffs-is the historic and Ma
tional centre of international arbitra~
ton. Had the present Emperor of
Germany only listened to the appeal
and offer of Plus TX. to arbitrate be-
tween France and Prussia, the world
and the nations Immediately involved
would have been spared the horrors Of
the Franco German war, which left be-
hind it a legacy of bitterness that dis
turbs the world to-day. That appeal
was made in vain. It fell for the mo-
ment on deaf ears. And yet it was the
very same Emperor and his powerful
Chancellor who only the other day ap-
pealed to the Holy Father to arbitrate
between themselves and Spain in the
international dispute. How successful
the appeal and the action of the Holy
Father were is known to all. And thus
was a precedent established anew well
worthy of imitation. The Pope has no
axes to grind, unless for the benefit Of
mankind.'

THE LONDON TIMES AND COERCION

In every article in the London Times
bearing on the Irish question can be
seen the hatred that the editor of that
paper has for the Irish race. Anything
that has tendency to benefit Ireland
produces about the same effect on the
editor of the London Times that a red
cloth does upon the masculine Of the
bovine kind. The '"Thunderer" is now
afraid that the Coercion Act will not be
rigidIy enough enforced and tenders
Salisbury the following advice as to how
the bill should be carried out in order
to make it's effect more terrible: "There
is nothing, however, to be gained by
minimizing the operation of the Act.
If anarchy, oppression. and public
plunder' are to cease, the League and
it's branches aud the Plan of Campaign
must be put down, and this we con-
ceive to be the object Of the clause in
the act relating to dangerous assocla-
tions. The Government must look
heedfully to this. They cannot afford
to make another mistake in dealing
with Ireland. There is no excuse tor
half-hearted action 1t is quite pos
sible that the Times advice will be
acted upon, but those interested should
stop and consider what must be the ln-
evitable result in case Salisbury should
enforce the bill with the severity en-
couraged above. The end Of the strug-
gle would be brought about sooner, and
then what excuse would the Thunder
err offer for it's advice
In pleasing contrast with the above is
the following remarks by the London
Daily News: s'The Coercion bill, the
greater part of which has been subject
to no revision, deserves none OF the
moral respect that good citizens IN
stinctively pay to ordinary laws" A
being who is inspired with feeling OF
regard for his fellowmen will regard
the sentiments expressed by the News
as containing far more forethought and
prudence thaa the brutal remarks Of

George w. HenSeI.

The New York Fn,ancter issued as q sup
p!ement, last week, portrait of Mr.. George
w. nenscl, President of the Quarryville
National Bank, Qnsrryvillc, Pa. Mr.. Hen
sells parents removed to Darlington in this
county, when Inc was very young, and he re-
sided there until he was fourteen years of
age, when he entered the store of Lewis
Haines in Quaryyile and became successfully
partner and sole proprietor. Dir. Hensel has
been actively engaged in promoting the in
terests of his section and is one of the most
highly esteemed citizens Of Southern Penn
sylvania. His successful career is proof of
what wcll-directcd energy, honor and indus
try, without the aid of pecuniary capital, will
accomplish. Mr.. Hensel in 1916 married
Miss Anna NJ. Uhler, a member of we'll
known family in Lebanon, Pa. They were
the parents Of len sons and daughters, all of
whom, except one son, are living. Hon. W.
U. Henscl, editor Of the Lancaster Intelligen.

Committee of Pennsylvania, is one of their
sons. The latter is also leading member of

Cleyeland's denomination.

There has been much talk, lately, with re-
gard to the nomination OF President Cleve-
Hand for second term. An alleged interview
with an unknown Western Democratic Sena-
tor has been published, in which il was stated
that Mr.. Cleveland had positively declared
that he would not be a candidate for renom-
nation. Perhaps the wish was father to the
thought with those who gave it publicity.
Every effort has been made to elicit an ex-
preston on the subject from the White
House, but President Cleveland is one of
those who do not attempt to cross bridge
until they come to it, and probably does not
wish to reject what has rot yet been offered
to him.
1t is reasonably cert ain that the masses of
the Democratic party desire the renomina-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland. The dissatisfaction
which prevailed at his tardiness in substi-
tuting Democratic for Republican office
holders is wearing away, and even those
who felt aggrieved upon this point admit
that Mr.. Cleveland could be elected over
Blaine or any candidate the Republicans
might bring forward.
While President Cleveaud's course with
regard TO appointments has not commended
itself to all Democrats, yet his admins.
tratioD, so far, as whole, has been wise,
prudent, conservative and patriotic. 1t has
been free from jobbery and Republicans as
well as Democrats recognize the fact that
the interests Of the country have been con-
sidercd before the eXigencies of party. Every
department of the government has been car
ried on efficiently, honestly and economically.
Republican journals have sought in vain for
asingle weak spot where President Cleve-
lands administration could be successfully
attacked and the more candid among them
acknowledge that he has done his duty to the
whole country ably and fearlessly.
1t is not strange, therefore, that there is
strong desire all over the country for his re-
nomination and it will be difficult for him TO
resist the current running in his favor, al
though his wishes might incline him to re-
tirement from the cares and responsibilities
of the high office he holds. Doubtless, how.
ever, he recognizes the duty he owes to his
party and if the demand is made with suffi-
cient unanimity we have no doubt he will
again lead the Democratic party to victory.
